As winters approach, everyone’s focus shifts towards their heaters, as well as the rise in electric bills that are looming ahead. Fittingly enough, homes with heaters/boilers installed before 2004, get higher bills than those with the latest technology energy-saving and more efficient new boilers. G-Rated boilers with limited heating controls have a significant impact on your power consumption. On the other hand, A-Rated boilers, which also come with a full set of heating controls, can drastically reduce your energy bills.
However, upgrading to these highly efficient central heating systems may not be everyone’s cup of tea. Keeping this in mind, the Gov UK Grants are now swooping in to save the day! 4 Billion worth of funding is available to upgrade old heating systems, which includes home insulation. So, if you are looking to upgrade your heating systems, you need to get it done before it’s too late.
